    • As Oscar night approaches another of the expected heavyweight contenders goes into cinemas: Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road reunites Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time since Titanic (still the highest grossing film of all time fact-fans) in a story of a middle-class 1950s couple dissatisfied with the American suburban dream. Based on (what I understand to be) an awesome novel by

    • Friday 18 September 2009: Facilitated by Fr Mark Walls SM, Year 12 students looked to develop the means whereby they could stand up for what is right. As a result of this the students are able to distinguish what is acceptable, and what is unacceptable behaviour, in the Marist Tradition. We look forward to this cohort making a significant contribution to the college as Year 13 Leaders.

    • Having observed a steaming hot urn of it at the Southern Cross on Saturday night, surrounded by blankets and hot water bottles, we want to know: where can one get the best mulled wine in Wellington, how much will we have to pay for it, and approximately what alcoholic percentage will it be?  Do our work for us in the comments section. Thanks!

    • The Trust is pleased to announce that it is advancing arrangements for the sculpture Nga Kina by Michel Tuffery to be installed on the Kumutoto feature of Wellington's Waterfront. The Trust's Chairman, Neil Plimmer, says it is the right art work on the right site. “The initial public response has been fabulous. The work will transform and strengthen the appeal of this northern part of the waterfront.

    • Last year, for the second time in a row, Team Wellingtonista won the Webstock Pub Quiz (we intend to win it this year too, by the way). Our prize was a $300 tab for Lagerfield at 21 Blair Street. Having been there late at night when it was full of munters, I was not overwhelmed with enthusiasm, but as it turns out, it was a lovely experience.

    • 27 Aug 2010

    • Consistency must count for something in Mayor Kerry Prendergast’s strategy, but it was conspicuous by its absence in a 24-hour period this week. On Tuesday, she honoured Forest & Bird and their project to save little blue penguins. One day later came her action to remove from city ownership and protection a piece of land that is a home for some of those same little penguins.

    Manners Street: the council is running a misleading and one-sided campaign

    • 23 Oct 2009
    • Wellington Scoop
    • The Wellington City Council’s advertising about the future of the Manners Mall is misleading and biased. There are different opinions about its controversial plan to wipe out the pedestrian mall in Manners Street. But the council is promoting only one of them, as if its point of view is the only one which can be considered by anyone who accepts the invitation to “have your say”.

    • Wellington Scoop
    • The Wellington City Council’s waterfront company is keeping the pressure on councilors to pay for two expensive and controversial projects which haven’t yet been approved. By June next year, says Wellington Waterfront Ltd in its Statement of Intent which was given to councilors on Friday, plans for the temporary ice skating rink and the temporary sideless tent “will be significantly advanced, if not completed.”

In a programme developed by Challenge 2000, students took part in a range of activities that challenged their perceptions of poverty and justice. Discussions involved such questions as "Does poverty exist in Lower Hutt?". A thought-provoking day for all.

    • Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
    • Recently I asked for the compounding rate increase for residential property over the last five years from the city council´s CFO. My records from 1 July 2003 to 30 June to 2004 show my rates at $1275.69. They are now $2204.52. That’s close enough to 73 percent and I pay for my own rubbish. The figure I was given by the CFO was 45 percent.

    End of Term and Still Singing and Smiling

    • We are now half way through our first year of operation - who would believe it! With all the Official Celebrations early in the term and then getting into "business as usual" which included the full cycle of teaching, assessment and reporting and a visit by ERO, this term has seemed quite long and teachers are tired and looking forward to a break over the holidays.

    • Look at these gorgeous cushions we had presented to us today by Wendy Welsh an Establishment Board of Trustees Member. Wendy was out shopping one day and, knowing that we have a bit of a Hungry Caterpillar thing going on in the library, purchased these cushion kitsets. Her mother, Joy Hill, sewed them. A HUGE thanks to both of them for their beautiful contribution to the library.

• • The end is near on the waterfront

    • 3 Dec 2010
    • Wellington Scoop
    • After 25 years, the end is near for the waterfront company which is owned by the Wellington City Council. An announcement this week said only that the company is to be reviewed. But the council is likely to shut it down next year, because it has run out of new projects, its income has fallen, and it has an unrepayable debt to the city.
